This event showcased Jonathon Mathews Design Group. I’ve been impressed with Jonathan the times I’ve spoken with him. Clearly an honorable young chap with an impressive portfolio. And the man is as gregarious as they get. The edgewater’s Six Seven Lounge was stunning as the sun set revealing the partial moon hovering over the open saltwater. People were glowing in the sunset. It was gorgeous.

When Deloitte Services called looking for photographic coverage of an alumni (past employees) party, I thought – now there’s a first. But it turned out to be a great thing. Folks that haven’t seen one another in years showed up to chat it up. Of course, the parks setting didn’t hurt either.

Jennifer Allen of the Oregon Council for the Humanities asked if I would be willing to photograph their new happy-hour discussion series called “Think and Drink”. First up, Jelly Helm. His short tenure – still a young guy – has taken him through some interesting changes in advertising. When asked “what would the world be like without advertising?” he responded with “not much different, I think people will still drink coke.” word. Photographed at the lovely Rontoms on East Burnside.

Headlining the final gathering of Out Magazine in Seattle ~ Christian Siriano custom designed a vest to be
auctioned off to a local nonprofit. I was honored to cover these events for Out Magazine. As you can see
by the photos, the crowd adored the man. Dogs, women and drinks accompanied throngs of men to see
the famous designer in flesh and blood.

Held in the beautiful Wonder Ballroom in Portland, Oregon – The Junk to Funk is a showcase of Portland’s
dedication to being green. I have never heard so much cheers for design in my life. People roared with delight
at the sight of paper dresses and VHS tape gowns.
